Good stuff in the mornings with a nymph dropper deep, then it becomes a predictable dry fly affair towards midday. The cloudy, blowing and snowy weather has been giving it up substantially better than the calm break when the sun comes out. Even in the winter-like conditions, March browns, skwalas and blue wings have the fish looking up starting about...

REPORTS: Kinda nice when all the rivers finally lose the 'tude and start cooperating all at once. That's the deal here locally right now. In keeping with the other options, the Clark is giving up some very good fishing. The best of it continues to be WAY up high, or down low towards Forest Grove. The river though town here...

Here we go again! Better weather has the bugs coming off in bigger numbers and the afternoon hatches of March browns and blue wings have pods of fish up and working now rather than chasing individual risers. We're still having good luck fishing skwala type stuff that varies a bunch from the norm. LOTS of fatties eating opportunistically when you...

The Blackfoot has gained some consistency this week for sure. There is a much more predictable afternoon bite now on March browns and the deep nymphing is also getting more dependable. Red San Juans are king up here subsurface to the point where we're fishing 2 in tandem. The streamer fishing is still only okay, but could easily be EVIL...

REPORTS: The Mo is giving it up now although you'll potentially be dealing with more wind over here than you will in the Missoula area. Midges, blue wings and, yes, some skwalas down lower on the river. The nymphing remains very good and has been for some time now. Stream fishing is picking up a bit too and our luck...

REPORTS:Yup, like the pictures imply, Rock Creek is ROCKING! Very good March brown and skwala fishing even if you're not seeing a ton of bugs . . .which we haven't been. The water is now giving up some VERY good streamer fishing as well and if you're into watching an indicator, (after redoing your taxes with a different colored pen...

It's Still all on the rise this morning and pretty much a non option except for maybe nymphing some of the back channels and the uppermost sections. Once this temporary push of water begins to head back down (today or tomorrow most likely), the fishing will get very good again in a hurry.  For now, though, your best bet is...

Yeah, no!  The river is still dealing with a big push of water and will probably not be an option until Sunday at the earliest.  The fishing's been good up here so we anticipate things shaping up in a hurry once the low elevation snow melt bump has passed.  Soon. HATCHES: Caddis, nemouras, March Brows, BWOs, a skwala or two...
